it seems the jobs of the future will be surprisingly different from what we have now in 2012. it seems management jobs will remain to be a challenge of producing results by communicating and effecting good results through the compliance of subordinates. it seems the computing power that will be in hands of people will "grow exponentially". It seems this will lead to new industries that will take care of "new needs" of people based on new capabilities of information technology. For instance, these could include gathering biometrics that will detect disease in early stages - something that could be left to degrade had there been advanced detection means... What do you think?

Now a days lot of college courses are available to getting our graduation. Every year some new courses and degrees are offered by the universities and people are interested in learning the new course. People are interested in the new trend and join with the course which is hot on that year. But this kind of people must think that their future is based on their education and they will get job based on their degree and our education is the main thing which determines our career. We must select our graduation based on our interest. Every year some new courses are available and it seems to be hot at that stage. Lot of persons are interested in joining it and trying their maximum to get seat in that course, even though it is not in their interest. This kind of persons giving importance to the trend, but this kind of trend is having a short span, some other courses will be in peak in the next academic year and the persons whoever chose the course based on the trend will regret a lot for their mistake. We must select our graduation based on our interest and achieve a lot with our education. Some stable courses are available in the education field and it always have their own importance and placements, if we are interested in that field we can select this kind of courses and study our lessons with our full interest. It is really hard to get good marks in our studies if we are not interested in our field and take course based on the trend. Every year the trend will be change, so don't give importance to it while selecting your career.

Your point is taken well, it is truly our interest that will make the big difference. But our interests may change as time goes by and as we evolve. How can we improve our chances in the long-term? What do you think?

yes, our interest may vary, but our interested field don't change, for eg, if you are interested in studying medical, you don't change it in future as well as if you love computers, you don't change your interest for other person, so we must find out our interest and take our major with that field

You've got a wonderful and interesting points. There are only some few people who have the kind of thinking you have. Your mind is advanced in many aspects, more than the average teens who's just happy to follow the old advice of "go to school, get good grades, and find a safe-secure job." The information and distribution revolution is starting to bloom to it's fullest potential. Those who are slow or defiant to recognize its effects in future kind of living will be left behind, not knowing what hit them in the head. Detection of disease in its early stage would be great.

I think it is best to choose a further education course that will be interesting and enjoyable for the student. I decided to study Business and Finance Shipping and Transport. I worked as a container marketing controller for a shipping company. However two years later I was made redundant. I went off traveling and then decided to do teacher training. I am now a primary school teacher. I think Business, Computing or engineering are good ideas for college courses for students to build a great future. In an area of high unemployment it is important to get an excellent education.

I think computer and information technology will alter our way of working, our lifestyle , our mode of communication sharing our views and information. It's one of the best feature that it is versatile, means it can be used with ease and in a smart manner in many working areas. Due to this , there is an excellent job opportunity in this field than any which you can think of. Advancement and refinement in hardware and software are on a daily basis. Every day new fields and subfields are emerging out . Everything will be on the desk and in front of our eyes. In one moment, we are connected to the people of the united states and in the next moment we are in a conversation with the people of United Arab Emirat. In our future technology will be more sophisticated, devices will be more compact , small in size but very powerful. Today we feel the need of visiting our offices to complete the work for which we get monthly salary. But in our future there will be no limitations of places, means we can do our job anywhere on the globe. Outsourcing today makes it possible. Talented and skilled people will be always in high demand

Here in our country for the present economy you must choose a college course to be practically manage you in the future where easy access of financial can be cope up with the job desire that is connected with your college course. But as I noticed there are still many students are interested in nursing but our country is full of nurses that were not able to reside there duties in the hospital. But you can saw them working in outsource program. And wheres the practice of the course you chose. Its neither neglected. So its better to chose a course that can sustain you in the future.
